Hello, and thanks for checking out this blog! At first (scoring) pass, skates and science might not seem like they have much in common. But in this series, neuroscientist and Assistant Professor, Dr. Liz Engler-Chiurazzi, or should we say, Astro Fight, relays the stories of their roller derby and research journeys, sharing tips, tricks, and pearls of hard- and sometimes painfully-earned wisdom about how to be a badass in the lab, in life, and on the track. So check out our posts in the Blog tab encouraging you to “Get Low”, “Fall Small”, “Practice Jamnesia”, and more as you navigate your own journey to roller derby stardom, scientific success, and fulfillment however you define it.
